Rain Monday, 30 Degrees by Wednesday: Serbia Forecast
A new week brings rain to northern Serbia on Monday, with temperatures climbing back to 30 degrees by midweek. Here is the day by day forecast and who should take it easy this week.
Will rain return to Serbia next week? Partly. Showers are due back in northern Serbia as early as Monday, though only for a couple of days. By midweek, temperatures already climb back toward 30 degrees, without the extreme heat the country saw earlier this summer.
As we reported earlier, cooler weather moved in this weekend, and RHMZ had flagged it days in advance. The drop on Saturday was sharp: a day earlier, most of the country was still seeing highs of up to 38 degrees, while by Saturday afternoon most places were down to 20 to 24 degrees, with Belgrade at 22. The biggest swing was in Vranje, which fell from 35 degrees the day before to just 16 on Saturday. It was colder still in the mountains: 17 degrees in Sjenica, 15 in Zlatibor, and only 11 on Kopaonik.
What Sunday, September 13 Looks Like
Today, Sunday, the weather is mostly sunny, with moderate cloud cover expected from midday and no rain. Daytime highs range from 22 to 26 degrees, around 24 in Belgrade. Forecasters don’t fully agree on the morning low: RTS puts it at 8 to 15 degrees, while B92 meteorologist Djordje Djuric says it will be between 5 and 15.
Djuric described the shift into the new week for B92:
“Morning temperatures will range from 5 to 15 degrees, and the daytime high between 22 and 26.”
In eastern Serbia, a strong northwesterly wind is expected on and off today, easing in the evening and shifting to a west to southwest direction. Overnight, Vojvodina is due for heavier cloud cover, the first sign of the rain arriving tomorrow.
Day by Day Forecast for the Coming Week
Here is what forecasters are calling for between September 14 and 20:
- Monday, September 14. Variably cloudy, with brief rain and showers, mostly in Vojvodina and the hilly and mountainous southwest. Morning 8 to 15 degrees, daytime high 23 to 27.
- Tuesday, September 15. Variably cloudy, with scattered brief rain and local showers. Morning 11 to 15 degrees, daytime high 24 to 28.
- Wednesday, September 16. Mostly sunny. Morning 11 to 15 degrees, daytime high 26 to 29. According to B92, most of the country reaches around 30 degrees by midweek.
- September 17 to 21. Mornings stay cool, daytime highs run 23 to 29 degrees, and thundershowers are expected to return on Friday.
Djordje Djuric summed up for B92 what follows Monday and Tuesday:
“The start of next week will bring changeable, cloudy weather, with rain expected in northern Serbia as well.”
Of the days after that, he added: “Highs across most of the country will be around 30 degrees.”
Sources don’t fully agree on exactly where and when the rain falls. RTS calls for rain on Monday and Tuesday, with possible showers on Friday. B92 expects rain in northern Serbia right at the start of the week, without naming a specific day. Poportal, which covers the Branicevo district, reports thundershowers on Monday afternoon, as well as on Tuesday and Friday, with slightly warmer weather moving in on Wednesday and Thursday. For that part of Serbia, highs are forecast at up to 25 degrees early in the week, with lows around 11, climbing to a range of 14 to 29 degrees by the weekend.
Who Should Be Careful This Week
Alongside the temperature outlook, a biometeorological forecast was also issued for the start of the week, and it isn’t favorable for everyone.
- Less favorable. People with heart and lung conditions may feel it early in the week. The weather sensitive reactions mentioned include fatigue, headaches and insomnia. Drivers are advised to be extra careful these days.
- Favorable. There’s no rain by midweek, temperatures are pleasant without extreme heat, and the wind eases. For outdoor plans, Wednesday and Thursday look like the best pick of the week.
Our advice is simple: keep an umbrella handy on Monday and Tuesday, especially in the north of the country or in the Branicevo district, and save bigger plans for Wednesday or Thursday, when the weather settles and temperatures climb back past 25, even 30 degrees. If you have heart or lung issues, take it easier than usual at the start of the week.
